Abstract

Venture debt is a prominent funding tool to promote scale-up of ventures. In the growth stage, venture firms that need large-scale funding can accelerate their growth by leveraging venture debt without diluting their shares, while venture capitals can quickly recollect their investments by accelerating the growth of the ventures they invest. By supplying venture debt, banks can diversify their asset primarily concentrated on loans, and improve the return on assets. As in the case of Silicon Valley Bank, a leading venture lender, closer cooperation between the two agents is essential to supply venture debt. One is the venture capital, an equity capital supplier, and the other is the bank, a debt capital supplier. To this end, we propose "credit risk sharing venture loans" and "venture loan pooling". The former encourages banks' participation in the venture debt market where the manager of Korean Fund of Funds, KVIC and policy guarantee schemes such as KODIT and KIBO screen or partially absorbe the risks inherent in venture loans. The latter reduces the burden of banking on individual venture loans through securitization.

벤처부채는 벤처의 스케일업 촉진을 위한 대표적인 자금공급 수단이다. 성장 단계에서 대규모 자금 공급이 필요한 벤처기업은 지분 희석 없이 벤처부채를 지렛대로 성장을 가속화할 수 있고, 벤처캐피탈은 투자 기업의 성장이 가속화됨으로써 신속히 투자자금을 회수할 수 있다. 은행은 벤처부채의 공급을 통해 대출에 편중된 자산운용을 다양화할 수 있고 자산수익률도 제고할 수 있다. 해외 실리콘밸리은행의 사례와 같이 벤처부채 공급을 위해서는 부채자본 공급자인 은행과 지분자본을 공급하는 벤처캐피탈의 긴밀한 협력이 전제되어야 한다. 이를 위한 시장 조성 방안으로 "신용위험 분담형 벤처대출"과 "벤처대출 풀링"을 제안한다. 전자는 모태펀드와 정책보증과 같은 정책금융기관이 벤처대출에 내재한 위험을 선별하거나 우선 인수함으로써 은행의 벤처투자 시장 참여를 촉진하며, 후자는 은행과 창업벤처전문 사모펀드가 공동으로 벤처대출을 증권화함으로써 은행의 개별적인 벤처대출 실행에 따른 부담을 감소시킨다.
